What were the tools you bought after to make the job easier? Also there is a huge problem in my area with scams with fake duct cleaning ads. Is this a problem where you live and if so how do you get your customers to trust you? I was planning on buying a camera to show the customer the before and after. And in your video you state that you started out by calling everyone you know who owns a house. So I reached out to some people in my family to see if they have ever got the vents cleaned and 90% of them didn't even know it was something they needed to do. My question is do most of your jobs contact you because they want it cleaned or do you have to explain to people that they should have it cleaned?

Great marketing attracts your ideal customer at very specific stages of awareness (that’s a whole separate video).

But also a lot of opportunity for attracting them at a later stage (aware of the need and ready to buy).
